Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals

The Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals was awarded between 1966 and 2011 (the final year it was awarded, for recordings issued in 2010). The award had several minor name changes:

• From 1966 to 1967, the award was known as Best Contemporary (R&R) Performance - Group (Vocal or Instrumental)
• In 1968 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Group Performance (Vocal or Instrumental)
• In 1969 it was awarded as Best Contemporary-Pop Performance - Vocal Duo or Group
• In 1970 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Vocal Performance by a Group
• In 1971 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus
• In 1972 it was awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo Or Group
• From 1973 to 1977 it was awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus
• In 1978 it was awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group
• In 1979 it was again awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group
• In 1980 it was again awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus
• Since 1981 it has been awarded as Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals

The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, all duo or group performances in the pop category will be shifted to the newly formed Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.

A similar award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group was awarded from 1961 to 1968. This was also in the pop field, but did not specify pop music.
